DESIGN & ANALYSIS OF SUV CHASSIS AND ITS PASSENGER CABIN CAVITY

-Abstract
In this paper, dynamic analysis of a sport utility vehicle chassis frame has been done using Ansys.
Firstly CAE, (Computer Aided Engineering) is widely used in automotive and aerospace structural analysis. The
results obtained from the simulations describe the reality with accuracy and cost effective. In this project a
conceptual model of chassis of a Sport Utility vehicle will be designed in CATIA based on its body and will be used
in ANSYS for stress-strain analysis, compression testing , equivalent stress and strain . The vehicle’s passenger
cabin vibrations also analyzed using the same. The crash involvement and behaviour of Sports Utility Vehicles
(SUV) was analysed. Also comparisons were made with actual numbers of the car fleet of the vehicles types, so
that exposure rates can be included. Accidents of vehicles in the above-described categories will also be compared
with each other.
